  1. For the most protection, register your songs with the US Copyright Office. I would say definitely do this for songs you think are particularly marketable. https://www.copyright.gov/about/fees.html Registration of a claim in an original work of authorship Electronic filing: Single author, same claimant, one work, not for hire $45 Standard Application $65 Registration of a claim in a group of unpublished works (up to 10 songs) $85 ......................... If Your Work Is Used Unlawfully If your work is used unlawfully, without your permission and not under a statutory limitation, it is your right to pursue legal action. However you do need to register your work with the Copyright Office before bringing an infringement lawsuit for your work in the United States. And if you want to pursue statutory damages or attorneys’ fees in that lawsuit, you have to register within a certain amount of time. In other words, you need to have your registration if, for example, you take someone to court for using your work without your permission, and you want to try to have your attorneys’ fees covered or pursue certain other types of compensation. https://www.copyright.gov/engage/musicians/
